Ham radio VHF with all of the weather channels programmed in. Only listen if there seems to be something in the area.
Nice thing about the ham radio is that even if no phone signal to get online there is almost always a reachable repeater around. With that I can get somebody who can tell me all I want to know & plenty more.
Saved our hides from a thunderstorm catching us once in Kansas.
El cheapo service radios from Walmart or wherever are good too. Always useful to help in parking in the CG & not losing each other in the big box stores.
